Sophomore Ben Chamberlin claimed 13th place after finishing even in the first two rounds and +4 in the final 18 holes. Junior Alan Van Asch tied for 17th with a +5 ending score, highlighted by a -2 round in the last 18 holes of the invite. Freshman Cooper Mizelle rounded out the Lynchburg performers with a 33rd-place finish, his best round coming at the end of the invite with three under in the third round.
